Robert Glasper Explains the Influence of Social Issues on His Music and Family

Fuse's new concert special
Live Alive: Hiatus Kaiyote is now available in full on the Fuse TV app now. The special included a roundtable with some of the most innovative names in jazz, hip-hop and R&B today.

In this roundtable clip, Glasper talks about how social issues have always influenced the music he loves, and why today's issues influence his own music. Reflecting on his position as a father raising a son in this world, Glasper says, "Now that I have a kid, my perspective is different...I have to explain things to him."
